Hey guys,

I'm an android developer and I'm having a little trouble getting going with this MyTouch I just received from eBay. SOOOoooo...

Issue #1: I don't have a T-SIM Card

Issue #2: I don't have an Unlock Code

I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, T-Mobile MyTouch 3G

I took this badboy out of the box, formatted the SD card and wiped. My thinking is that I'll just put CM6 on it and go about my business. So I started following the instructions on the wiki and have flashed COC10 SAPPIMG.nhb.

Worked fine.

Now, I'm trying to get Clockwork Recovery on there and am running into problems. I can't tell if it's a problem with my machine, this phone, my general setup, my Android Development Enviorment or what, but I cannot get fastboot to work.

I hold down back/pwr to boot the phone into fastboot mode, then plug it in. When I connect it to my computer, it says "USB Device Not Recognized - One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it." then "Driver Software Installation was not successfully installed." It does not show up in USBDeview at all.

I've tried to update the driver, us the Google Driver, etc, but nothing seems to help.

Has anyone else had this happen or can give me some info on how to fix it?

Thanks!

E

Here's what's on the fastboot screen:

Sapphire PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAP30000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] djtar:
you cant use fast boot if s is on

s-on

so you'll have to get the recovery threw ROM manager which can be download from the market

lol dont forget to thank me

problem solved
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gte619n:
Thanks for the reply!

Is there any other way to do it without going through the market? I don't have a SIM card, so I can't really get past that first screen to even get to the market!

Thanks!

E
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Inaccurate. S-ON simply means that its not a full access SPL so certain commands are locked out but not all.

To the OP, do you have another Android powered device that you can make a goldcard with? Cause your going to need one. As for the driver, are you sure your plugging the phone into the computer after entering fastboot and not during the bootup? If yes, try installing HTC Sync and then plug the phone in (only when prompted) with it in fastboot mode. Lets start there.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gte619n:
Thanks for the reply!

I have a Motorola Droid running a different OS, but I have a feeling that's not going to help very much! I haven't gone down this goldcard route yet.

For sure.

Just gave this a shot. No joy. I get the same "device is not functioning properly" notifications as before. After dismissing everything, HTC Sync does not recognize the device.

As an aside, if I go get a prepaid card from T-Mobile, would that be enough to give me access to the Market?

Thanks for your help!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Once you get the prepaid SIM I think your given the option to purchase a one-day data pass for $2 at the activation screen. Then you could use ROM Manager. Have you tried plugging the phone in with it booted up to the activation screen?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gte619n:
Yeah I think they've got this baby locked down pretty tight.

I give, I'm going the pre-pay/day pass route.

Thanks for everyone's help and input!

I AM NOT TRYING TO TROLL!!!! THIS IS A LEGIT QUESTION!!!

Ok so I got the Xoom and love it. Nice speed good UI and everything. Now I have noticed something unusual but has not be brought up and I don't know if its because I am going crazy or if it is infact Honeycomb "holding back."

If you look on the specs for the Xoom it states you have 1gb of RAM built into the device. Now if you go under Settings and into Applications and so forth to look up how much each app is using memory/RAM wise it shows 512mb. Now I understand some can be reserved for OS usage but isn't that what "Google Services" are on that bar?

Just trying to see if maybe they are really dedicating 512mb for the OS (which I think is insane!) or if that Honeycomb is actually not taking advantage of its full 1gb RAM.

If you don't believe me go to Verizon Wireless's site and look at the spec at the bottom of the page for the Xoom. 1GB ram is sitting right there.

Not trying to start a conspiracy or stir the pot or even troll. Just trying to wonder where that other 512mb is actually going to!
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
You should probably put the question in the thread title... People who might be able to help you will only skip these arbitrary, general titles that have nothing to to with the actual question.

I checked and it only shows 512 MB but that's only accounting for storage. I'm sure the other half is reserved for different purposes like the OS.

[Xoom General] Handshake87:
Thats exactly what was I was thinking maybe the 512mb is reserved for the OS services. But what confuses me the most if that is the case why so much RAM dedicated to that? I mean with the current ports it doesnt have that "vanishing" RAM but I do understand those are simply ports of HoneyComb and not the actual OS

Am I really the only one who thinks 512mb for reserving for OS processes is a little extreme?

Also how do I change the title of the thread :P Sorry just don't know hwo to do that on here since I really don't post much I am just a reader ;)
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Video ram probably takes a chunk. If you ever hit that 512 limit, let me know.
[Xoom General] Handshake87:
Ya I am not saying I will ever hit the current 512mb limit I am just curious as to why. Also if a chunk of it is for video then why have a dedicated Tegra chip? Wasn't that to basically "take the brunt" of the video processing needed.

Keep in mind I am not trying to prove someone wrong or say your facts are wrong, I am just saying this is very unusual and just trying to find out why exactly. True it could be one of those that is the way they made it but isn't anyone else even curious?

I don't want to be like an old man standing at a self-checkout register looking amazed because its "magic" lol
[Xoom General] wynand32:
The GPU needs memory to function. Ever noticed on a notebook with integrated graphics, there's a chunk of RAM unavailable? Same thing here--the GPU doesn't have its own dedicated RAM, it shares RAM with the CPU.

In the memory dump above, you'll notice around 740MB available right from the start. One can assume that the other 260MB or so has been allocated to the GPU. Then, some of the 740MB is allocated to the OS, and the rest is available for apps.

My numbers aren't precise (no time to do the real math), but I think the principle's sound.
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
You can edit your post then go to advanced. There you should be able to edit everything. Glad that people can help you out. I never wondered about the RAM since it's running smooth!
[Xoom General] sportedwood:
I have noticed the same thing on my 2 xooms (swapped one out due to defect) using the system monitor app from the market. My inspire 4g with 768m shows 400mb free on a fresh boot while the xoom I have never seen with more than 320 :rolleyes:. I guess it reserves it for video, like how the galaxy S's have 512 but 128 reserved by video at all times.
[Xoom General] wang1404:
It is reserved for the os because Honeycomb is newborn so google is still working to reduce the amount of the os. Right now I only have 365 mb free. But android os is smart enough like we all know it'll shift the unused one to the app that is using it. So why bother?
[Fascinate General] cam815:
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2011/03/24/samsung-mesmerize-android-2-2-update-now-available/

I check back here and poke through Google News 'Samsung Fascinate' searches pretty much daily and at this point, I'm pretty sure we're one of, if not THE last Galaxy S phone, to be on 2.1. At this point, we just have to laugh about it, right? Then I read articles like this and it makes me remember the angry "WTF :mad:" feeling... but what's the point in being pissed off. It'll get here when it gets here, right?
[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
We don't need Verizon anymore. The Mesmerize's code is compatible enough with the Fasicnate that we don't need an official release... plus, their source is already out. Hell, we've been using their leaked kernels for a while now (EB16 and EC10 are both mez kernels).
[Fascinate General] trailblazer101:
Us Continuum users are still on 2.1 :P
[Fascinate General] xHoLyx:
Adryn said he will work on Continuum, but not sure when.
[Fascinate General] cam815:
Well, not to lessen the Continuum state, but you guys do have that funky Ticker thing with all of it's own settings ;) I can actually understand something like that holding up the Verizon/Samsung ability to push out an update. But the Fascinate? :rolleyes:

It's just mind-blowing that two multi-billion dollar companies are such a miserable failure in this department. The Froyo SDK came out over 10 months ago. Some team, some where, should've lost their jobs ages ago and been replaced with competent individuals.

Ok, back to laughing :D
[Fascinate General] sohead:
True.. its gotten to the point of being so ridiculous that I really do almost laugh out loud at the whole thing these days. Still though I do feel extremely frustrated at the fact that the two big companies involved just seem to refuse to give a straight answer regarding an update - if an update is coming out for sure.. ETA.. status.. etc.. That part of it just drives me crazy.
[Fascinate General] DownRiver_Droid:
Very true. I am waiting and hoping for ASOP or MIUI to be fully functional now.
[Fascinate General] obsidianchao:
So why the hell did Samsung drop this phone, essentially, and all the other phones are fine? This is a great phone.

Samsung Fascinate, Verizon

EB01 Superclean 2.4

[Fascinate General] Hatespawn:
If you didn't notice the froyo versions that leaked have all had their own issues and caveats. Knowing Verizon, they would never allow a release of flawed software so I refuse to be angry about the lack of an official release. Those of us knowledgeable enough and willing to tolerate have been using it for months and with Kaos, Adryn, JT and our other AMAZING Fascinate devs we will have GB, MIUI and AOSP as well as all the wicked kernels we could possibly want ahead of anything we would ever get from sammy. I always put my faith in these ambitious and innovative people over some billion dollar team that never faces us.
[Fascinate General] ataranine:
I gotta say I released a bit of a chuckle when I saw on Twitter that Samsung released Froyo for the Mesmerize the other day. I was like, "The MESMERIZE? REALLY?"

But oh well. :D
[Fascinate General] Fyrmedic654:
I'm not one to correct, but wasn't the next to last official VZW release the one with the 911 puzzle lock bug? VZW has always been a pain in the butt for updates, but never, NEVER, this nad. IMO, this all falls on Samsung and their incompetence. I get done what I need done just fine from my SC 2.9.2 and stopped waiting for anything official a long time ago. All owning the fascinatehad done is solidify the fact that Sammy won't get another dime of mine. What actually makes me laugh is the BS that Samsung PR puts on here to attempt to make users happy.
[Fascinate General] xjestersdeadx:
From what I understand, Samsung has already released the update to Verizon, but it didn't have Bing integrated...so then Verizon's one guy in some back room closet has to integrate Bing before they can release it. Of course, any dev on here could do that in a day....
[Fascinate General] joey.white:
I wouldn't go stock if they did release it. I am digging Launcher Pro on SC 2.9.2 Voodoo. I have my wifi hotspot and google and NO VZW crap. Everything on my phone is working better than before and I have no lag, waits or FC. I honestly don't mind the UI of touchwiz but the implementation is piss poor in the quality department and I don't expect that to change with the next rev. I'm a happy man going to save a few duckets for Adryn he is a deserving soul.
[Fascinate General] sohead:
Yep I'm with Joey - at this point even if they do come out with an official release, I dont think I could go back to a stock 'bloat rom' after trying out a rooted phone with a fast cool SC-Voodoo setup developed here by the dev community. AWESOME!
[Fascinate General] onemotodroid:
running DR v3 voodoo

launcher pro plus

loaded the apk's that i like

battery life is good / to GREAT

Samsung / Verizon = i will be voting with my money when it comes time to upgrading my phone & service

because of leaks i am currently happy with my Fascinate
[Fascinate General] Sen.droid:
Imo I would say this definetly falls on samsung and verizon not giving the ok on an update that would have its own issues. Ive never been a fan of samsungs touch wiz interface, but I think this is a really good example of phone makers tweaks on android really effecting users getting to experience there devices as they should. Sammy has always been little slow on updates to there phones. Love there displays and there TVs are the best. I just wish they would pay as much attention to devices already launched as they do pushing out new devices. Seeing that droid x is on the verge of getting gingerbread it makes me sick thinking that fascinate is still on froyo. I keep.secretly hoping that thsy will surprise us all and just skip froyo with the vzw update and push out gingerbread for it. If they do.end up putting a froyo update out for the fascinate I guess a gingerbread update would be out of the question because who knows how lonh that would take
[Fascinate General] nutrulz:
Samsung , has a bunch of bs programers, and poor project management. If our devs out code theirs, why haven't they been hired? Because, they'd have to eat humble pie. My guess, is that if you paid close enough attention, you find that samsung borrowed quite a bit of code from our devs. Why else would they "leak" code? They are having problems solving their own, self made hacks of miss placed code and purpose built convolutedness, so why not get someone else to fix it for free.

Just my 2¢
[Fascinate General] cam815:
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2011/0...ung-intercept-froyo-update-coming-april-11th/

And now the Intercept. Against, I don't know if it's Verizon or Samsung, but at this rate I'm leaning towards Verizon being the weak link here.

Must... maintain... laughing...
[Fascinate General] dfa7:
At this stage, it really doesn't much matter who's to blame. We'll never know whole truth and nothing but the truth. All I can say is TY to XDA and their team!!
[Fascinate General] sageDieu:
Far as I've seen, it's looking like they're being held back by Verizon and Bing stupidity as much as Samsung amd Verizon.

[Fascinate General] minho422:
Ah...There are a lot of galaxy s version like Galaxy A, Galaxy U, Galaxy Hoppin etc in South Korea that are officially froyo...there's also Galaxy K, which I think is the best of the Galaxy S series, but it probably has gingerbread already.

I just read an article saying that all the korean galaxy phones are getting gb this month or next...:(
[Fascinate General] M00NEY:
I was also under the impression that the bulk of the holdup was due to the bing deal that VZ made...

I imagine that Google is all like, "a GOOGLE phone with Bing? FU...."
[Fascinate General] sageDieu:
Yeah, as soon as they did that google was probably like "what the hell..."

It just doesn't make any sense at all, if you wanna sell a google product then sell a google product.

Sent from my MIUI SCH-i500
[Fascinate General] ataranine:
Yet the only thing any idiot will tell you is, "If you don't like it, buy a new phone.."

It's a Google phone; it should have god damn Google on it.
[Fascinate General] cam815:
Amen.

And while, for the most part, it doesn't matter if it's Verizon or Samsung's fault - I'd love to know so I can make an informed decision in the future: Is it time to say "Cya Verizon" and move to an equal quality carrier that can accomplish updates in a timely manner or do I give Samsung the shaft and steer clear of their future phone because they can't get their crap together? It'd be nice to know...

Wtf droid x gets gingerbread

Angry Birds Land in Rio

Just when you thought they couldn’t get any angrier, the Angry Birds flock gains new cause for vengeance. Swept away by smugglers to Rio di Janeiro, their captors soon find out that these caged birds don’t sing. It’s time to bring back their unique brand of weaponry–the finger-powered slingshot–and launch the newest adventure in the world’s most popular physics-based casual game.

In the original Angry Birds, this peace-loving flock was hoodwinked by greedy green pigs with a hunger for poached eggs. After the pigs stole their precious eggs, this flock was friendly no more: unleashing an arsenal of angry bird artillery, the avian army smashed through the green pigs and their hideouts. The world pulled the trigger with glee as these ornery birds made bacon out of swine.

If there is such a thing as a “classic” in a mobile gaming genre that is still very young, Doodle Jump is exactly that. Millions have been charmed by the delightfully addictive gameplay and irresistible style of this casual platforming game.

Nowhere to Go But Up

The object of Doodle Jump is to guide the Doodler, an adorable, interminably hopping four-legged creature, up a series of never-ending platforms. Watch your step–miss a jump and the Doodler will fall to its doom. Some platforms are solid and steady, while others move, explode, or have other properties that create interesting challenges for the Doodler.

Just a Hop, Skip, and a Jump

Mastering the perpetual motion of the Doodler is the key to moving up in the Doodle Jump world. You control the lateral direction of the Doodler by tilting your phone left and right. Doodle Jump uses your device’s accelerometer to enable pinpoint control. Alternatively, you can tap the sides of your touchscreen to bounce The Doodler left and right.

Trouble Ahead, Trouble Behind

There are many obstacles and pitfalls hindering the Doodler’s upward mobility. Black holes dot the path, waiting to suck the Doodler in to the void, while UFOs float by hoping to abduct it with tractor beams. Even more frightening are the many hideous creatures lurking above, ready to send the Doodler tumbling back down to Earth.

Beware of angry robots

Fight Or Flight

Fortunately you have more than just the Doodler’s tireless legs to rely upon. Destroy bad guys by tapping the screen to fire Nose Ball projectiles. Take evasive action by picking up propeller hats, jet packs, and other items that can be used speed the Doodler past the many hazards that lie in its path.

Oodles Of Doodles

Artistically, Doodle Jump springs to life with beautifully illustrated environments. Originally modeled after a drawing sketchpad, Doodle Jump now features a number of stylized themes to play through, including a winter holiday landscape, a lush rainforest, and a distant corner of the galaxy. Rich scenery and dynamic gameplay make Doodle Jump a unique and timeless mobile gaming experience.
